Those looking for overseas property should
investigate the lush tropical paradise of the Dominican Republic.
Holidays, investment, retirement – whatever
your reason for considering buying abroad, the destinations that are available
to you have become more and more exotic. France and Spain are still very
popular but there are many new corners of the earth that are making themselves
known to today’s purchaser.
One spot in particular that is catering to
those with a taste for balmy breezes, unparalleled natural beauty and a
laid-back lifestyle is the island of Hispanola. The island has long been known
for its gorgeous beaches, fascinating culture and fantastic climate. And the
latest ‘in’ place can be found on the easternmost tip of the Dominican
Republic.
The new resort of Cap Cana is the world’s next great destination. This exciting,
extremely luxurious project has been created by a ‘dream team’ of the world’s
most experienced and innovative resort designers. Cap Cana is envisioned as a
world-class resort celebrating the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the
Caribbean, with the added style of European resorts such as St Tropez and
Marbella.
Not only is the weather nearly perfect; the
facilities on offer are second to none. The world’s largest marina, three Jack
Nicklaus signature golf courses, one of the finest white sand beaches in the
world – if these sound your sort of treats, Cap Cana is the place to go.
Water sports will be high on the list of
activities, with snorkelling, diving, sailing, boating and deep sea fishing.
There will also be polo and other equestrian activities, as well as tennis,
fitness centres and spas.
A green ecological reserve area meanders
through the entire Cap Cana development; within are caves, natural springs and
bird species not found anywhere else on earth – including the Palm Chat, the
national bird of the Dominican Republic.
The resort will offer a wide choice of
luxurious accommodation, including private villas on the grandest scale, finely
crafted villas in the tropical palapa style, sophisticated town houses and chic
apartments, with harbourside, beachfront and village locations. All homes have
been designed to blend with the natural contours of the site and local
tradition. Yet they also incorporate the highest standard of construction,
built to the Florida hurricane standard.
Homes in the marina, which will eventually
accommodate over 1,000 vessels of up to 150ft, will be located in a
European-style village, with a waterfront promenade offering elegant boutiques,
fine shops and restaurants, not to mention one of the world’s top casino
hotels. Bungalows and apartments on Star Island, in the
middle of the marina, will allow residents to be in the centre of one of the
most fabulous resorts in the world, while still remaining completely private.
There is also Yarari, a self-contained village of single-storey semi-detached
and detached villas set behind the Punta Espada championship golf course.
Yarari is a buggy-only zone that will include a village centre with its own
fine restaurants, shops and leisure facilities.
Specification is extremely high, with such
touches as private Jacuzzis, wooden-decked terraces and an emphasis on views
and light.
